There must be more to your question than I am reading. When a user drags the mouse over text in a textbox it is highlighted. If they then right click there is a default popmenu associated with the textbox that has cut, copy, paste, delete.
If you are giving the textbox focus programatically and not via the mouse, you can simply set its text to an empty string:

Private Sub Form_Load()
txtMyTextBox.Text = ""
End Sub

Here is the code to select entire text in a texbox when it receive focus...

Private Sub Text1_GotFocus ()
     Text1.SelStart = 0
     Text1.SelLength = Len(Text1.Text)
End Sub

Hope it Works
